Thump!
The third apex expert was sent flying.
However, he charged forward again a second later, slamming into the giant Genesis Rune hand. The space around them fractured.
Boom boom!
After a few repeated collisions, the Genesis Rune hand began to fall apart.
Cang Yuan’s expression grew increasingly grave. He had to split his attention three ways and even had to face three sacred race apex experts. Even someone like him was beginning to feel the heat.
Fortunately, the transportation array was finally ready. Resplendent dots of light had already turned into concentrated rays that completely covered Zhou Yuan’s body.
“Zhou Yuan, prepare to leave!”
His shout rang out in Zhou Yuan’s ears. In the next instant, his hand seal changed, causing the space within the teleportation array to shatter. Countless spatial fragments swirled around, forming a spatial vortex.
“Go!”
Zhou Yuan shot forth without hesitation, plunging straight into the spatial vortex.
Boom!
But the instant Zhou Yuan’s entire figure had submerged into the spatial vortex, the cloud above was suddenly blasted open as a small bolt of white lightning fell from the sky and struck the spatial vortex.
Rumble!
Erratic spatial undulations exploded in the spatial vortex. It only managed to last for a few breaths more before swiftly dissipating.
Cang Yuan’s expression involuntarily changed. Although the white lightning bolt was insignificant to an existence like him, it had contained enough power to disrupt the spatial passage. This was quite bad for Zhou Yuan.
However, Cang Yuan was powerless to do anything at this juncture. After all, he still had to deal with the three apex experts of the sacred race. Fortunately, the teleportation array had already activated, and the power of the array should serve as some protection for Zhou Yuan.
“Zhou Yuan, I wish you all the best.”
Cang Xuan smiled bitterly. In the next instant, the crystal coffin had already appeared beside him. He kept it with a wave of his sleeve before turning his frosty gaze towards the three apex experts from the sacred race.
The area behind him began to swirl, forming a vortex that swallowed his figure in a single gulp.
The three sacred race apex experts immediately tore open space and dashed in, vanishing from the domain. They were clearly chasing after Cang Yuan. Zhou Yuan, who had escaped earlier, was far beneath their attention.
He was merely a Divine Dwelling stage ant.
In the wake of their departure, the unique domain slowly fell silent once more. Only the giant trees with light-giving fruits silently towered over the land, as if they would continue to do so till the end of time.
...
Rumble!
Inside the spatial passage.
Zhou Yuan’s entire body was wrapped in concentrated light. His expression changed slightly as he cast back a glance at the small bolt of white lightning roaring towards him at high speed.
Due to the white lightning, the originally stable spatial passage began to ripple.
Fortunately, the most worrisome scenario did not appear. The white lightning exploded, releasing devastating shockwaves that distorted the insides of the spatial passage.
Some of the energy smashed into Zhou Yuan’s body, but with loud clangs, the shell of light surrounding him stopped the energy.
Every collision made his body tremble violently.
Wounds began to tear open on his body, causing Zhou Yuan to tightly grit his teeth. He knew that if he failed to endure and was swept away by the distorted space, it would be impossible to escape given his current cultivation.
...
Time slowly flowed in the spatial passage. Zhou Yuan did not know how much time had passed, but his entire body was already riddled with bloody wounds despite the protection of the teleportation array.
The strong protective light had also become much dimmer.
Endless life energy flowed out from Zhou Yuan’s body to repair his wounds.
However, there was a trace of worry in Zhou Yuan’s eyes. Though there was still some life energy from the Taiyi Green Wood Mark in his body, he did not know how long it would last.
Once the Taiyi Green Wood Mark’s life energy was used up, he would have no choice but to endure with his body.
In addition, the distorted space within the passage was growing increasingly violent as time passed.
“Has the spatial passage still not reached its end?”
Zhou Yuan lifted his head and looked to his front, but an exit had yet to appear, causing his heart to sink.
Boom!
While Zhou Yuan was worrying, a loud noise suddenly sounded from behind. His gaze swept backwards, only for his expression to change drastically. A giant torrent of distorted space had appeared and was rapidly approaching him.
Zhou Yuan’s scalp turned numb as he squeezed out every last bit of Genesis Qi in his body and swiftly sped through the spatial passage.
The torrent of distorted space roared like an angry dragon, rapidly closing the gap between them.
Zhou Yuan’s expression grew increasingly ugly as he felt the terrifying undulations pulsing behind him. However, his heart suddenly shook. He had finally seen a dazzling light appear in the seemingly endless spatial passage.
“I’m finally at the exit!”
Zhou Yuan was overjoyed as he swiftly shot forward.
The closer he got to the spatial door, the nearer the torrent of distorted space grew. He could already hear the wailing of the berserk energies contained within it.
Various thoughts rapidly flashed in Zhou Yuan’s head. At this rate, he would be torn to shreds before he could reach the spatial door.
“Not good, I’m still not fast enough!”
Zhou Yuan’s eyes rapidly flickered in thought before a resolute look flashed in his eyes.
He slowed down a little as he circulated his Genesis Qi. Turning into a torrent, his Genesis Qi swept out and smashed into the approaching distorted space.
Boom!
Blood wildly sprayed from Zhou Yuan’s mouth at the moment of impact.
A frightening force swept towards him, instantly tearing apart his clothes. Even his spatial bag was torn to shreds, and sinister wounds appeared on his body.
But by borrowing the power of the frightening force, Zhou Yuan’s body was sent flying backwards at an astonishing speed. In the end, he hurtled through the spatial door a split second before the charging torrent of distorted space could swallow him.
Boom!
Zhou Yuan’s body violently trembled as he shot through the spatial door, but before he could take a look at his surroundings, his figure turned into a streak of light as he plummeted from the sky.
Wind blasted his face as Zhou Yuan’s heart turned cold. At this speed and in his current condition, he would either be killed or crippled by the fall.
However, he no longer had anything left in him at this juncture and could only leave his fate to the heavens.
Boom!
His figure streaked past the horizon. The moment before he crashed to the ground, Zhou Yuan seemed to smash into something, and he faintly heard a miserable shriek.
Thump!
Something seemed to have been smashed to pulp.
However, Zhou Yuan could not care about anything else at this moment. Although his fall had been slightly cushioned, the impact still violently shook his insides and made him wildly vomit blood. In the end, his eyelids slowly began to close.
An instant before darkness took him, Zhou Yuan seemed to hear a somewhat panicked cry.
“Could he have fallen to his death?”
A bitter laugh echoed in his heart before silence finally enveloped him.
Chapter 750 The Yi Clan Sisters
Zhou Yuan felt a splitting headache when he opened his eyes again. What greeted him was the roof of a white tent. He was dazed for a few breaths before intens
e pain flooded his body.
It felt as if his entire body was being torn to pieces.
He could not help but gasp several times, his face contorting in pain.
But the pain made him breathe a secret sigh of relief. It looked like he was pretty lucky to have not fallen straight to his death...
As he endured the pain, Zhou Yuan scanned the area with his gaze. Where is this? This should be in Hunyuan Heaven, right?
While such thoughts were swirling in his head, the tent entrance was suddenly lifted. Zhou Yuan saw a small figure walk in as a pair of large eyes stared in a daze at Zhou Yuan, who was now awake.
Zhou Yuan looked over and found what appeared to be a young ten-year-old girl. The little girl was very pretty like a porcelain doll and had a pair of large, bright eyes.
Jingle.
She was stunned for a moment before happiness appeared on her face. She ran over with the tinkle of a bell—a red bell was on her wrist.
The young girl said with joy, “Big brother, you’ve awoken?”
Zhou Yuan blinked. Just as he was about to speak, he found that the little girl had happily turned around and ran out of the tent. Several words echoed, “I’ll go tell my sister!”
Zhou Yuan could only smile bitterly at the sight of the energetic little girl. From her attitude, however, it seemed that he had not been unlucky enough to fall into a wolf’s den, right?
Zhou Yuan inwardly shook his head before turning his senses to the interior of his body. Regardless of where he was, it was most important to first regain his strength.
The bitter smile on his face grew even more bitter as he scanned his body. If not for the Mythic Saint Body he cultivated, he would have likely been torn to pieces in the spatial passage.
Although he somehow managed to survive, his body was in an extremely terrible condition.
More importantly, all of the vital energy in the Taiyi Green Wood Mark had been completely used up, making it impossible for him to repair his body...
Besides his body, all of the Genesis Qi in his Divine Dwelling had been fully exhausted.
It was a spectacle that was too horrible for the eyes. Any ordinary person would likely be capable of killing him in this state.
This gave rise to a strong feeling of unease. Looks like my top priority is to swiftly recover from my injuries and regain my strength...
Unfortunately, Zhou Yuan’s spatial bag had been destroyed in the spatial passage. Although he had managed to retrieve a few important articles, the medicines and items that could heal his body were not amongst them.
While Zhou Yuan was inspecting his body, footsteps sounded outside the tent. The little girl soon squeezed in, followed by a young lady.
The young lady was wearing a long pale-yellow skirt, and her long hair reached all the way to her waist. She had an excellent figure and a very pretty goose-egg-shaped face. Her facial features were somewhat similar to the little girl’s, and they were likely sisters.
When she appeared, her bright and clear eyes immediately looked towards Zhou Yuan. Her eyes were filled with intelligence and caution.
Zhou Yuan’s gaze paused on her body for a moment before withdrawing. The young lady before him was indeed very pretty, but after living with Yaoyao for so many years, his standards with regards to beauty had reached an alarmingly high level.
Rather than her looks, Zhou Yuan was more focused on the faint Genesis Qi undulations around her body. They definitely belonged to the Divine Dwelling stage and might even be from the intermediate level.
This observation somewhat amazed him. Hunyuan Heaven was truly a blessed land. If someone like her was put in Cangxuan Heaven, she would be a top-class Chosen even among the six major sects.
However, the young lady’s beauty and aura likewise told Zhou Yuan that she was no ordinary person and was likely of high status.
The sight of Zhou Yuan’s calm eyes slightly stunned the young lady. Her exceptional beauty likely drew in many disrespectful young men, and Zhou Yuan’s reaction was rather rare.
However, her expression did not change as she arrived by the bed and asked, “You’ve awoken?”
Her voice was clear and pleasant to the ear.
Zhou Yuan nodded, struggling to sit up as he said with embarrassment, “May I enquire about the current circumstances?”
“Big brother, you suddenly fell from the sky three days ago and smashed someone to death…,” chirped the little girl.
Zhou Yuan was slightly taken aback. His landing had smashed someone to death? No wonder it had felt as if something had cushioned his fall...
The young lady with the goose-egg-shaped face reached out and gently tapped the little girl’s forehead, stopping her from speaking any further. She then turned back to Zhou Yuan and said, “I’m called Yi Qiushui, and this is my younger sister, Yi Dong’er. We’re from the Yi clan.”
As she spoke, her eyes were closely observing Zhou Yuan.
However, Zhou Yuan’s expression remained somewhat lost as he said, “I’m called Zhou Yuan.”
Yi Qiushui’s gaze bewildered him. What the heck was this Yi clan?
The sight of his lost expression made Yi Qiushui’s face slightly relax. However, the caution in her eyes did not recede as she said, “You’re from one of the other heavens?”
Zhou Yuan nodded, not hiding anything. “There were some problems during the teleportation which led to my predicament.”
He asked in a somewhat anxious manner, “This should be in Hunyuan Heaven, right?”
Yi Qiushui smiled faintly and replied, “This is indeed Hunyuan Heaven.”
She was not surprised that Zhou Yuan was from another heaven because it was not rare to encounter similar situations.
“To be more precise, the Tianyuan Region of Hunyuan Heaven, and we’re currently in the Xiaoxuan Province.”
Relief washed over Zhou Yuan. Looks like the teleportation had succeeded. He had not only reached Hunyuan Heaven but even arrived in the Tianyuan Region...
“You guys were the ones who saved me?” Zhou Yuan looked towards the sisters.
Yi Dong’er said with a smile, “Wrong, big brother, you are the one who saved me.”
Zhou Yuan was utterly confused.
A smile emerged on Yi Qiushui’s face as she explained, “I should be thanking you. Three days ago, Dong’er encountered a low-life while playing, and he had tried to kidnap her.
“It was then that you fell from the sky and smashed that low-life to death. However, you were also gravely injured, and Dong’er was the one who carried you back to the camp.”
The corners of Zhou Yuan’s mouth twitched as he gave a moment of silence for the low-life he had smashed.
“Thank you.” Zhou Yuan smiled at Yi Dong’er. If she had not carried him back to their camp, he might have already been eaten by Genesis Beasts in that unconscious and heavily injured state.
Yi Dong’er was somewhat embarrassed as she softly said, “Big brother Zhou Yuan, you can relax and recuperate here.”
One could tell that she was quite grateful towards Zhou Yuan. After all, she would definitely have been kidnapped if not for him. Who knows how those scoundrels would have threatened her sister if that had happened.
She paused for a moment as she tightly clenched her small fists. “Moreover, the guy you smashed to death deserves it. My elder sister will definitely protect you! Isn’t that right, elder sister?”
She turned her head and looked towards Yi Qiushui in an expectant manner.
Yi Qiushui smiled as she rubbed Dong’er’s tiny head. She then gave Zhou Yuan a small nod. However, Zhou Yuan was able to sense a trace of worry deep in her eyes.
His heart skipped a beat. Why did something sound wrong? Could the person he had smashed to death be some important figure of sorts?
While such thoughts were swirling in his head, he heard a disturbance outside the tent before a stern voice rang out.
“Yi Qiushui, hand over the criminal who killed young master Qiu! Or
the Qiu clan will not let this matter rest!”
Zhou Yuan’s eyelids trembled faintly. Had trouble come knocking so quickly?
Chapter 751 Qiu Ji
As the voices from outside entered the tent, Yi Qiushui’s long shapely brows knitted together. The rays of light fell on her white porcelain cheeks, revealing a beautiful reflective sheen.
She swept a glance over Zhou Yuan and calmly reassured him, “Don’t worry about other things. Just recuperate here.
“It will be safer for you to leave when your wounds are healed.”
From Yi Qiushui’s words and tone of voice, Zhou Yuan could feel a hint of caution towards him. Perhaps this was because of his unknown background.
“When my injuries are healed, I’ll leave.”
Zhou Yuan nodded without expression. Although Yi Qiushui was wary of him, he didn’t feel insulted or angered because, given his current state, it indeed wouldn’t be wise of him to leave recklessly, especially under the premise that he had somehow killed an unlucky guy with an important background.
He knew very well that he was in Hunyuan Heaven, not Cangxuan Heaven.
He could no longer use the name of the Cangxuan Sect as a shield, and he also didn’t have the unfathomable Yaoyao accompanying him. Here, he had to rely on himself for everything.
When she heard his calm response, Yi Qiushui knew that Zhou Yuan understood the hidden meaning in her words. But his simple and straightforward answer still made her feel a little uncomfortable.
But she didn’t say much. Their situation was somewhat unusual, and Zhou Yuan was of unknown background. He had suddenly descended from the sky and saved Dong’er. There were far too many coincidences. It was possible that this was all a deliberate plot to get close to them.
This was the reason why she wanted to test Zhou Yuan. If he had shown any hesitation or made any excuse to stay, she would have suspected him.
What made her breathe a sigh of relief was that Zhou Yuan didn’t act strangely.
Yi Qiushu’s long slender eyelashes gently flickered as she took out a jade bottle from her spatial bag and placed it next to Zhou Yuan. “There is a Genesis Accumulation Pill inside that can help restore Genesis Qi. It should be useful to you.”
